Yung Joc

Atlanta rapper Jasiel Amon Robinson broke out as Yung Joc in 2006, when "It's Goin' Down" climbed to number three on the Hot 100 for Bad Boy South.

Yung Joc had the Atlanta recipe: bounce, hooks, and a voice that sounded like the club had already paid cover.

The deal came before the hit. Bad Boy South, Puff Daddy’s imprint at Atlantic Records, teamed up with Block Entertainment on a joint venture to sign him, and the move was deliberate and fully committed. “It’s Goin’ Down” went Top 5 on the Hot 100, an instant ringtone-era anthem, and led off New Joc City (2006), his debut studio album.

Reviews were mixed, but the album peaked third on the Billboard 200, and the sequel, Hustlenomics (2007), matched it. That’s consistency, not lightning in a bottle.

He was all over features too, right through T-Pain’s number one era, because he was fun, flexible and ready for radio.

That’s Bad Boy South at its loudest: hits, energy, no apologies.
